Verse 16
- Comparison with MT and LXX. See "Upon All the Ships of the Sea, and Upon All the Ships of Tarshish": Revisiting 2 Nephi 12:16 and Isaiah 2:16 by Dana M. Pike and David R. Seely in Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, v. 14(2), 2005, pp. 12-25. Pike and Seely do not really come to any conclusion except that Sperry's conjecture that the LXX and MT each missed a different line in an original Hebrew text overlooks several other possibilities which are just as plausible. (The first two lines here in Nephi represent the LXX and the MT respectively, while the third line preserves the second line in the KJV, which newer translations dispute by changing "pleasant pictures" with something like "display of crafts" which is closer to the LXX.)
